Re: Flat Out Great Drag Racing Photo's
Paul these photos's bring back tons of memeories from our childhood, some great times and great racing. Paul the legs are gone but the shot is still golden, come to the races with me someday. This weekend is the Dover reunion at Lebanon Valley, lots of cars from our past. Hope all is well, love these photo's...

Re: Flat Out Great Drag Racing Photo's
Tony......I think the East Coast had numerous mineshaft tracks......Just needed the right weather conditions....
Cecil County... Atco..... Suffolk.... I may be fuzzy but I sure recall Barkely's name on that record.... We always wondered how the heck a P/G trans car could run that fast.... There was none like that anywhere around here! Anyone with a P/G was usually not even in the 14's......

Regarding the "legal" hood bubble. This picture was the rough chronological contemporary of the earlier post of Larry Walker's '57 blown Ford with a '58 hood. "Minor customizing" was permitted. These little twists seem to really stand out but they were the outgrowth of anomalies in the rules that also permitted experiments such as gutted grills, tilted, "snow plow" license plate brackets, sedan delivery hydros and the 4-speed '57 Chevy combination. Farmer Dismuke slammed the door on these shenanigans fairly quickly. Just another hiccup in the development of the sport! c
